LA FILLE DE NULLE PART/GIRL FROM NOWHERE (15) 2012 FRANCE BRISSEAU, JEAN-CLAUDE £15.99
Writer and director Jean-Claude Brisseau stars alongside Virginie Legeay
in this French philosophical horror. Retired maths teacher and widower
Michel (Brisseau) lives alone in a Parisian apartment building while
writing a book on man’s illusory beliefs. When he finds a beaten young
woman (Legeay) on his doorstep he vows to help her by contacting the
police but before he can do so she expresses her wishes to be taken in
and given the chance to rest.

As the pair then get to know each other, Michel makes the girl his
editorial assistant but when it appears she has some abilities beyond
the realm of human understanding he believes she may hold some
connection to his dead wife.
